Thanks for the great list. I also looked at DSL. Very nice progs come
in the 50 MB plus I downloaded some utils needed for maintenance to
put in mydsl extension but the 3.2 and 3.3 both fail to burn the
remaster. The remaster boots in a minimal shell.

If that becomes successful, then I would put the above list and some
more that I have from my old sarge testing time, all console utils
using apt-get I have in the mydsl.

Deboo
